Forrest Rosecrans (Tex) Biard
9/1/02 - (Reported by Noel Garland) Forrest is a retired Naval Captain who lives in Highland Park,  He will be 90 years young this November, but is still active and alert. He has had a full and eventful life, and finally is getting some recognition for his achievements in life. More recognition is being sought both at North Dallas High, and in state and national circles clear up to the White House. Recently he spoke at the Pacific War Museum, known as the Nimitz, in Fredricksburg, Texas, and the next week, was flown to Baltimore, Maryland to speak to the retired  employees of the National Security Agency at the Applied Physics Laboratory of John Hopkins University, and tours  of the National Cryptological Museum at Fort Meade, Md, and the US Naval Academy. The picture of him below displays a commemorative plate given him by the NSA group. He has been invited back to the Nimitz to participate in a round table discussion on Allied-Japanese leaders in WW2, because of his intimate knowledge of those individuals, some of whom he worked for, or had met (MacArthur, Nimitz). Before the war, he and l7 other military officers and their families studied the Japanese language in Tokyo for almost 3 years, he managed to get that group out of Tokyo before being detained by the Japanese military in August of l94l. He worked with or met with many of the preeminent codebreakers of the US military (William Friedman, Frank Rowlett, Joseph Rochefourt, Abraham Sinkov and others) during his almost five years as a cryptanalyst-Japanese translator during the war. Graduating from the US Naval Academy in l934, he also attended Ohio State University, getting a Masters and some of his doctoral work in Nuclear Physics before being called back by the Navy to attend the first A-H bomb tests in the Pacific. After his military career, went to Cal Tech to study Astro Physics with seven extremely brilliant people, some of whom later won Nobel Laureates in their field. He taught Physics in California for twenty three years in various colleges before finally retiring. Forrest  usually can be found studying one of his avocations, Japanese language, Japanese military or general history, among others, at the Starbucks in Highland Park Shopping Center many mornings.

Gardner, Willard Henry

(Deceased)

  

Willard Henry Gardner, longtime Highland Park police chief, dies at 80  12:00 AM CDT on Saturday, April 11, 2009  By IAN McCANN and JOE SIMNACHER / The Dallas Morning News

Retired Highland Park Police Chief Willard Henry Gardner, under whom the town's police and fire departments were joined as a single department, died of complications from lung cancer Monday. He was 80.  During his nearly 35 years in law enforcement and public safety in Highland Park, he developed a statewide reputation as a police officer's police officer.

"There are police officers who work their rear end off just to be officers, and then there are people it comes naturally to - and that was Henry," said Larry Gentry, a semiretired Highland Park police sergeant. Mr. Gardner followed in his father's footsteps to serve as Highland Park's police chief and president of the Texas Police Association.

He is remembered by his former colleagues as a strict but fair leader who cared deeply about his department's reputation. Detective Randy Millican said officers knew they were in trouble when Mr. Gardner's glasses slid down the bridge of his nose.

"When you made a mistake, he'd let you know about it," Detective Millican said. "But I don't know any officer who ever made the same mistake twice." Notable cases Mr. Gardner was involved in included the kidnapping of socialite Amanda Dealey in 1972 and of a 14-year-old Highland Park girl in March 1973.

Ms. Dealey, who was married to Joe Dealey Jr., son of a former publisher of The Dallas Morning News, was recovered safely. In the 1973 case, he was credited with saving the life of Leslie Janice Ward, who was abducted on her way to school.  "It was obvious after some time went by that this guy wasn't trying to get money out of the deal; he was wanting the child," said Mr. Gentry, who was the patrol officer who took the offense report in the case.

"Henry Gardner came up with the idea that we needed to get word to this guy, by way of the press and the TV, that there were big bucks that were available, and all he had to do was ask for it. "Henry went on TV and made that passionate request, and sure enough the guy started making calls for money."

The girl was returned to her parents after federal agents arrested the kidnapper. That direct involvement, even as chief, was typical of Mr. Gardner, said Sgt. Gentry, who worked with him for 20 years before the chief retired.

"There was never any doubt that he was in control," he said. "But he didn't mind getting his hands dirty." Mr. Gardner's wife of nearly 60 years, Frances Gardner, said her husband was dedicated to the people of Highland Park. "He felt like he had to protect the people there," she said. "They depended on him to keep them safe."

He was born and raised in Dallas, graduating from North Dallas High School. As a child, he was a frequent visitor to the Highland Park police station, where his father, Millard Gardner, was chief from 1939 to 1950. "I knew from the first day I was there that I wanted to be chief," Mr. Gardner recalled in 1992. After a stint with the Highland Park Fire Department, Mr. Gardner joined the town's Police Department in 1951. He rose through the ranks and was named assistant chief in 1971. He was appointed the leader of combined police and fire departments in 1978 as director of public safety.

In addition to serving as president of the Texas Police Association, Mr. Gardner had been president of the Texas Police Chiefs Association and the North Texas Police Chiefs Association. He also served on the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Standards and Education. He retired from public service in 1985 and became a security consultant to Dallas businessman H.R. "Bum" Bright.

Mrs. Gardner said she and her husband enjoyed travel, including to Mexico and Big Bend. Among his favorite places was Bosque County, where his ashes will be scattered. In addition to his wife, Mr. Gardner is survived by sons Steve Gardner of Dallas and David Gardner of Frisco, and two grandchildren. Friends and family will gather to remember him from noon to 3 p.m. today at the Gardners' Lake Highlands home at 9929 Crestwick Drive, but no public services are planned. Donations in his memory may be made to a charity of people's choice.

Powell, William Llewellyn

(Deceased)
Powell, William Llewellyn Longtime Dallas resident and civil engineer died Sunday, March 22, 2009. He would have celebrated his 98th birthday on April 27th. He was born in a residence on Allen Street, just off McKinney in Dallas, Texas, on April 27, 1911, the first child of William Jenner Powell and Harriet Lane Powell Powell. He became a member of the Church of the Incarnation shortly after his birth with his baptism by Bishop Alexander C. Garrett. In 1915 the family, which now included two younger siblings, moved to their newly constructed home at 4033 Cole Avenue where Llewellyn continued his childhood and early adult residency, except for the family's brief 1917-18 WWI interlude in Leavenworth, Kansas, and Laurel, Maryland. Llewellyn attended Ben Milam grade school and graduated cum laude from North Dallas High School in 1928. He attended SMU Engineering School from 1928-29 and graduated from the University of Texas School of Engineering with a BSCE in 1932; he was a member of Sigma Chi Fraternity. Shortly after his arrival in Austin in 1929, Llewellyn met Mary Lee Weston, better known as "Billy." Billy and Llewellyn soon became college sweethearts; she was his Sweetheart of Sigma Chi. After his 1932 graduation, Llewellyn joined his father to form Powell & Powell, Consulting Engineers, continuing the private engineering practice founded by his father in 1925, working on projects such as the White Rock sewage treatment plant and City of Dallas waste water improvements. Billy and Llewellyn were married September 17, 1934, at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, Houston, Texas. Their union was blessed with five children: William Llewellyn Jr. 1935, Maryllyn Anne 1937, Dixon Leigh Weston 1939, Robert Lane 1942, and Sarah Brooke 1944. Residency in the early marriage years alternated between Llewellyn's Cole Avenue Dallas family home with successive intervening residencies in smaller Texas towns - Stamford, Sulphur Springs, Terrell - during the design and construction of various infrastructure facilities in those areas. In 1938 Billy and Llewellyn purchased their first Dallas home at 2618 Langdon Avenue, near Love Field. Commissioned in October 1936 as a Lt jg in the U. S. Naval Reserve Civil Engineer Corps, Llewellyn was called to active duty in October 1940, reporting first to NAS Corpus Christi for indoctrination and returning to Dallas in November 1940 for duty as Resident Officer in Charge of Construction of the Naval Reserve Aviation Base, which later became Naval Air Station Dallas. After Pearl Harbor in December 1941, with the original project substantially complete, Llewellyn's Navy duty was intensified. He was assigned responsibility for new additional facilities on expanded property at NAS Dallas and major construction of a new Marine Corps Glider Base on Eagle Mountain Lake north of Fort Worth. In July 1943, he was reassigned to duty as Design Manager in the Public Works Office at the U. S. Marine Barracks, Quantico, Virginia, continuing in that capacity until his release from active duty following VJ Day in 1945. He later retired from the U.S. Naval Reserve with the rank of Commander. After release from active duty, Billy and Llewellyn, with their family of five children, returned to the Dallas area for resumption of Llewellyn's civil engineering career, establishing an intended temporary residency in Grand Prairie, Texas. Becoming one of eight founding families of St. Andrews Episcopal Church in Grand Prairie and actively involved in the early life of that parish, they continued Grand Prairie residency until 1953 when they returned to establish their Dallas home on Villanova Drive and resume active participation at their home parish, The Church of the Incarnation. A post-war resurgence of new civil engineering work included engagement for the design work for the new Dallas Central Expressway, the Park Cities water treatment plant, numerous water and sewage projects, and as partner-in-charge of design for the Dallas-Fort Worth Turnpike. For his design of the arch bridge at Hampton Road on the DFW Turnpike, the American Institute of Steel Construction recognized him with the Most Beautiful Bridge Built in 1957 award. In 1958, The James F. Lincoln Arc Welding Foundation gave him their Award of Excellence. Llewellyn was also active in professional engineering organizations, serving in 1959-60 as president of the Dallas Branch of the American Society of Civil Engineers and in 1963 as president of the Dallas Chapter of the Texas Society of Professional Engineers. During National Engineers Week in 1978, the American Society of Engineers recognized him for Outstanding Achievements in the Field of Civil Engineering, and again in 1989 presented him with their Award of Honor. The American Water Works Association presented him with the 1986 Gold Water Drop Award. At the time of his death Llewellyn was an active member and loyal supporter of Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge, the Dallas Historical Society, and the Dallas Heritage Village Guild who honored him with the Golden Tennis Shoe volunteer award in 2008. He was also a Rotary Paul Harris Fellow. Llewellyn was also very active in the Episcopal Church. A longtime member of the Church of the Incarnation, he was a member of the choir for 40 years, a lay reader for weekday evening prayer and Sunday mornings, a chalice bearer, an acolyte, an usher, and a delegate to the diocesan convention. On the diocesan level he served on the Evangelism and Stewardship committees, the Camp Crucis and Episcopal Foundation boards, on the Executive Council and Standing Committee. He served for several years on the Provincial Synod, and three terms as Deputy to General Convention. At the 1966 Diocesan Convention, he was honored as Layman of the Year, while Billy was named Laywoman of the Year. Llewellyn was the first president of the Dallas Assembly of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, which was formed in 1950, and was elected as a member of the National Council of the Brotherhood. He was also one of the founding members of the Brotherhood chapter at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Grand Prairie. He served for many years as a National Vice President and Chairman of the Constitution and Bylaws Committee and was elected to "The Brotherhood Legion" in recognition of distinguished service. At the organization's National Meeting in Alexandria, Virginia in 2007, he received the Brotherhood of Saint Andrew Presidential Ring of Honor. Life members of the University of Texas Ex Students Association, Billy and Llewellyn traveled extensively with the Texas Ex Flying Longhorns. After Billy passed away in 2004, Llewellyn and his daughter Maryllyn shared several cross-county trips to see great-grandchildren and a trip in 2006 on the QM2 to England and France.

Stroud, Ethan Beden
By JOE SIMNACHER / The Dallas Morning News
jsimnacher@dallasnews.com

Ethan Beden Stroud was a warrior, from his college days at Virginia Military Institute through his career as a Dallas tax attorney. During World War II, he survived a kamikaze attack as junior officer on an amphibious landing ship. He became commander of the ship as a 21-year-old during the Battle of Leyte Gulf in the Philippines.

"He was a very colorful man, a very animated man and a great advocate," said his son, Eric M. Stroud of Dallas. "He was a warrior. If he took your case on, he was adamant about it. He was 100 percent your advocate and your partner in getting you through that problem."

Mr. Stroud, 86, died May 3 of complications from cancer at a Preston Hollow nursing center. A celebration of his life was Friday in Dallas. "He was sort of an untraditional guy, but doing traditional things," his son said. "He was very talented and very kind of flamboyant, but a capable person, nonetheless."

Mr. Stroud was born in Dallas, where his father was general counsel for the Federal Reserve Bank. He graduated from North Dallas High School and received his bachelor's degree from Virginia Military Institute. He was editor of the student newspaper and magazine there and was a member of the boxing and wrestling teams.

His undergraduate college studies were interrupted by the war. Although VMI students had a tradition of serving in the Army, the Navy offered Mr. Stroud a quicker path to active duty, his son said.

In October 1944, Mr. Stroud was serving in the Pacific aboard an amphibious landing craft when the Japanese started using kamikaze attacks. He was on the forward part of the ship when the kamikaze plane hit the bridge, killing the commander.

"He became the commanding officer of the ship," his son said. Mr. Stroud received six stars for valor in combat. After the war, he completed his studies at VMI and earned a law degree from the University of Texas at Austin and a master of law degree from George Washington University.

In June 1953, he was named a special assistant to the U.S. attorney general in the Justice Department tax division in Washington, D.C. In 1956, he was appointed tax legislative counsel to the Treasury Department and was named chief counsel in 1957. In the late 1950s, Mr. Stroud returned to Dallas, where he entered private practice. He later joined the firm that is now Gardere Wynne Sewell.

He founded his own firm, Stroud & Smith, in the 1960s. One of his Stroud & Smith, partners, Richard Haynes, founded the firm of Haynes and Boone. Mr. Stroud's clients included the Dallas Public Library, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Craig Morton and baseball great Mickey Mantle. He served on the board of trustees for the Dallas Museum of Contemporary Arts, which later merged with the Dallas Museum of Art. He also served on the Southern Methodist University board of development.

He was a member of the Brook Hollow Golf Club and the Lyford Cay Club in Nassau. In addition to his son, Mr. Stroud is survived by another son, Ethan B. Stroud of Greenwich, Conn.; a daughter, Natasha; a stepdaughter, Robin Walker of Dallas, and three grandchildren.

Boone, Thetford (Ted) Bolton MD (deceased)

Thetford Bolton "Ted" Boone Jr. M.D.

Boone, Jr. , M.D., Thetford Bolton "Ted" Beloved disciple of the Great Physician, husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend to all, born in San Marcos, August 17, 1927 and died August 18, 2009. Son of Rev. Dr. Bolton Boone and Eron Boone, Ted grew up in Central and South Texas, traveling the Methodist church circuit as Bolton's son before settling in Dallas. He graduated from North Dallas High School and received his college degree from Southern Methodist University after serving in the US Army as a lab technician. He met Mary Nell Fleming in the lab when her college roommate, Betty Boone, came home for a visit and wanted Nell to meet her brother. It was love at first sight. Ted chose the medical profession as a career and attended medical school at UT Medical Branch in Galveston before coming to Dallas to train in urology under Harry Spence, M.D. Following his residency at UT Southwestern Medical School, he started a solo practice in Oak Cliff based at Methodist Hospital where he practiced for over 40 years. He founded the Southwest Urology group and cherished his years at Methodist serving as Chief of Staff and Chief of Urology. Ted was a devoted and caring physician where his patients always came first in time of need. His tour as a medical missionary in 1971on the ship HOPE, anchored in Kingston Jamaica, was a highpoint in his professional career as it opened his eyes to the needs of the world. He embraced and marveled at emerging medical technology with the curiosity of a newly minted intern. Ted's second passion was theology, United Methodism and the difference accepting Jesus Christ into your heart can make in your life. He lived and loved with a positive spirit that was infectious to all around him. He was an active lifelong member of Kessler Park United Methodist Church where he taught Sunday school for decades and put his faith into action. He studied and respected all religions of the world and enjoyed discussions with people of faith. Dad's shop was his favorite leisure time activity at home. From laser light shows to restoring pipe organs, he was always tinkering with some invention or electronic device. That was a magical time with dad watching him build something out of nothing and seeing the gleam in his eye when it took off, lit up or made a funny sound. Ted is survived by wife, Nell , of 58 years, sons, Dr. Tim and Angela Boone of Sugarland, TX, Dr. Keith and Dianne Boone of Sulphur Springs, TX, and Carl and Gina Boone, of Keller, TX, son-in-law Tripp Stephens of University Park, and was preceded in death by his precious daughter Becky Stephens. He was Dadsie to Christie, Blair, Bolton and Connor Boone, Mitchell and Becca Boone, Alaina and Kaylie Boone, and Katie and Drew Stephens. Ted and his family received exceptional care from Dr. John Cox and the entire nursing and tech staff of the 7th floor Bed Tower at Methodist Medical Center. The family will receive friends at Sparkman-Hillcrest, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.on Thursday, August 20th. Following burial at 10 am on Friday, August 21st, for family and close friends, we will celebrate the life and love of Ted at Kessler Park United Methodist Church at 1:00 p.m. Friday, August 21st.
